“Erica was so friendly and easy to work with. She helped me tailor the booking to our exact needs and helped make the process really east for me. My cat, Cricket, warmed up to her right away, and Erica made sure to get all the necessary information to take care of her while I was gone. My cat takes medicine and has a prescription diet and Erica made sure she got everything she needed, plus brushing and playtime. She even sent me regular updates with pictures. Having her watch my sweet senior kitty really set my mind at ease. Thank you Erica!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years and have had both cats and dogs my entire life. Growing up around pets gave me experience with animals of all ages and personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every time we’re together. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule outside of my classes. I plan my schedule carefully and will always communicate clearly to ensure your pet receives dependable, loving care. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home by following their normal routine and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated throughout each visit.
“Whitney was very attentive and asked great questions on our meet and greet. That was super helpful to me as I was a first time Rover user. She's great at receiving feedback and adjusting visit-by-visit! The dogs loved her so I'll be rebooking for the next few weeks! Highly recommend Whitney as your dog sitter, she's made the whole process super easy and worry-free.”
“First time Rover user and Shannon did a great job. Did a video tour of the lay of the land, introducing the cats who all made a cameo appearance. Shannon followed up with a card on each visit, sending a picture. Was a good initial experience, will be using Shannon and Rover in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.
“Lindsey was great with our pups while we were gone on vacation! She was always communicating with us and giving us updates and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. We would without a doubt have Lindsey take care of our dogs again!”
About: I have a pet I love and I want to treat others the way I would want someone to treat my dog. That’s what I do! I work 3 min from my house and have the ability to come home regularly to let my dog out and or work from home as needed. I like to walk, bathe (they are in my house) play and snuggle with pets. My dog also enjoys socializing and we walk to the dog park to play regularly.
“Absolutely 5/5 star pet sitter!! My picky territoral husky/lab trusts her out of everybody! She has watched my pets from 2 weeks to 3 day trips... 100% more reliable that I can explain (: I receive so many pics of each pet and a thorough detailed day of each pet so I can monitor my pets health while I'm away. Thank you for my happy & healthy pets while I'm out of town! (: <3”
About: I am experienced with senior pets and medication administration, including insulin. I provide patient, attentive care with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and trust. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what could be more healing than spending part of my days with dogs? From as far back as I can remember, animals have been a light in my life. What I love most about them is their innocence, there are few things in this world that carry the same purity they do. Time spent with animals feels light and genuinely medicinal. That connection became especially profound for me in 2021, when I rescued my “soul” dog, a mangled senior left to roam the streets. Loving him taught me more about life, presence, and what truly matters than any other experience ever could. Though sadly he passed in 2025, the time we shared, while short, felt like an entire lifetime. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what better way than spending part of my days with dogs? I approach every walk and visit with safety, patience, and presence as my top priorities. I move at your dog’s pace, build trust gently, and stay fully attentive to their needs. My goal is calm, reliable care that helps your dog feel secure, loved, and supported every step of the way.
About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I have had dogs all my life and currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 lizards, and 1 tortoise with one of the dogs being on a lot of medication. I also worked as a vet tech assistant so I have a lot of experience medically with animals! I am a full time student but I am happy to make time for your animal. Most weekends I am completely free and I have time between classes to drop in or take your dog on a walk! I have house sat for many years growing up. I have many references that I have gone back to for many years. I am happy to come over whenever you want me there, whether it be all day or just dropping in!
About: I truly focus on keeping pets comfortable by caring for them right in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can give your pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their routines. I’m patient, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperaments—from playful puppies to shy or anxious dogs. My own dog is well-behaved, which has helped me learn how to reinforce good manners and calmly handle different situations. I treat every pet like they’re my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and fully committed to giving your pets the best possible care. Because I work part-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to focus on your pets throughout the day. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week, along with full availability on weekends for boarding or drop-ins. Your pet’s routine will always be my priority. I have one well-behaved dog at home, but most of the care I provide will be in your home so your pets can stay in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and house rules, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
“Michael, is an amazing dog sitter. He kept me informed on how the dogs were doing each time he dropped by. He sent me videos and photos of my “puppies.” My dogs instantly liked him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets and I will be using him again.”
“My kitties liked Katie when she first walked through the door, even my less social one. Katie gave specific details about their behaviour during her visit, which I really appreciate. Knowing they're comfortable playing around her is a good sign.”

We absolutely love Kim's kindness to our dogs! Our Malinois adapted quickly with her! We always been hesitant about anyone watching him but family. Tatanka usually shows quickly if he's not happy. He was full of wags and vocal to meet her. Hoonah is just a happy to see her too. We will be using Kim again! Thank you for the pictures and updates! Kim even told us if needed to extend our time due to traffic on the highway just let her know!
Logan is absolutely wonderful. She did a fantastic job with our pack! Leaving our dogs with Logan and knowing they would be well cared for allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying if the dogs were OK. Logan is professional, showed up during the time frame she said she would and communicated with me by text and photos after each visit. Logan is highly recommended!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Eagle River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eagle River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Eagle River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
